Vikings to trade for Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins
The Minnesota Vikings agreed to acquire quarterback Kirk Cousins through a trade with the Minnesota Vikings, the team announced Tuesday.
The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to acquire veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2027 first-round draft pick. This reunion would see Cousins return to head coach Kevin O'Connell, with whom he previously played in 2022 and 2023. Cousins, 38, had a solid season with the Raiders, completing 64.1% of his passes for 2,340 yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in nine starts.
He signed a one-year deal with the Raiders in April. The Vikings will be bolstered by the addition of Cousins alongside Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer, who will all compete for the starting quarterback role.
